SUMMARY:WIB-National: Virtual Event Project Management Essentials for the Life Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Scientific innovation requires more than great ideas—it requires coordinated execution. In the life sciences\, project managers provide structure to complex work by planning timelines\, aligning teams\, communicating clearly\, and adapting as projects evolve. This session will highlight the key hard skills (planning\, scope management\, and stakeholder coordination) and soft skills (influence\, communication\, and collaboration) needed to guide projects from concept to completion. \nLearn how to: \n\nIdentify key project management concepts and terminology relevant to the life sciences.\nUnderstand how scientific\, regulatory\, and business priorities shape project timelines and strategy.\nApply practical tools to improve communication\, decision-making\, and cross-functional collaboration.\nRecognize how project management skills translate across roles—from bench science to operations\, commercialization\, and leadership.\n\nSpeaker Bios \nTanvir Joshi\, Founder of EKAM Biotech \nTanvir Joshi has spent more than 20 years at the intersection of science\, strategy\, and patient impact\, building a career defined by purpose\, precision\, and an unwavering belief that breakthrough therapies only matter when they reach the people who need them.
